First off let me say I love the SD-1 stock. But I’ve also found some mods I like as well. Here’s a new track I just wrote/recorded - for the tone that kicks in at 25 seconds I’m using the SD-1 with what I call the “Heavy EJ mod”. Going for a quasi Eric Johnson tone with more gain and a bit more attack. Delay is a pro tools plugin. Amp my Blankenship Masterplex - based off a JCM 800 and is set to about AC/DC crunch. For the clean tone I’m using a Zoom MS-50G. I have a patch with eq that has level down to clean up the amp and eq’d to brighten the tone, a compressor to give sustain and chorus/delay. I have an a/b loop pedal to switch between the sd-1/zoom unit. Hope you dig it!!

Wow, nice song. Your tones sound great for this piece. Yep, a little EJ flavor, but still your style. Sounds great.

Sounds great! I’m sure this has been asked before but are those stock LTD EC-256s or do you change the pickups at all? Either way it sounds excellent.
